Feeling Good

Things have been going well lately and I finally feel like my running is back on track. All of my training runs and speed workouts have been going great. I'm feeling really strong and have been able to push myself to a new level. I don't think I have felt this good since my junior year in college so I am looking forward to getting out and testing my self at a 5K sometime soon.

Here is my tentative fall race schedule (permitting that the store allows me to do so)
-A couple local 5K's in August/September
-City of Pittsburgh Great Race September 27th
-Spirit of Pittsburgh 1/2 Marathon November 1st

Erin and I made it up to Morgantown on Sunday for an easy 10 miles on the Deckers Creek Trail. It was nice to see some familiar faces out on the run. We are really looking forward to moving to Morgantown soon!

4th of July

I haven't had a new post lately...nothing too exciting going on.  My running has been going well lately after my awesome wife Erin let me sleep in a few days since my last post.  My week consisted of the following:

Monday: Off

Tuesday: 6 miles

Wednesday: 2 x1200, 2x800, 2x400

Thursday: 5 miles

Friday: Off

Saturday: 2x800, 4x400, 4x200

Sunday: 8 miles

We took Ellie to see her first fireworks tonight.  She seemed to like the first few but then wanted to leave after they started to get a little louder.  I think she would have enjoyed them more if it wasn't so far past her bed time.

The Tour de France started today which I am excited about.  I started watching the Tour back in 2001 when I came across it by chance on Outdoor Live Network. I have been hooked ever since.  It always helps to motivate me with my running.  I started riding a lot when we were in Colorado but have not been on my bike since we moved back to WV.  I would really like to get back to it some day.

I know this post is about a whole lot of nothing but it is just a quick overview of this week.  Congratulations to my sister Marrie and her husband Jason on their new daughter and my first niece Layah!  She was born today and everyone is doing well. Her birthday should be very easy to remember!
